Articulations
NDL Pro-Health Articulations is a food supplement formulated with nutrients such as type II collagen, hyaluronic acid, Curcuma longa extract, manganese, copper, vitamin C, and Lipinova®, a source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. There are 29 different types of collagen, although 90% of the collagen in our body belongs to types I to V.
Of these five types, type I collagen and type II collagen are the best known.
How to choose your collagen for joints?
Type I Collagen
Found in the skin, it provides hydration and flexibility to the tissues that make up the face, making it the most widely recommended type in the cosmetics industry.
Type II Collagen
It is found in cartilage tissues and is becoming increasingly popular among those who want to take care of their joint health, especially athletes. Type II collagen is the predominant type of collagen in cartilage.
Once it is understood that there are different types of collagen for joint care, each with different applications, type II collagen is the most recommended option for people concerned about certain joint discomfort caused by an intense exercise routine.
During intense exercise routines, collagen in the joints breaks down, which affects the physical properties of the joint, causes inflammation, and consequently leads to pain.
On the other hand, the released collagen fragments may cause the immune system to recognise the body’s own collagen as a potentially harmful component and actively attack it.
This feeds back into the cycle of collagen breakdown, increased inflammation, and joint pain, and is also directly related to the high incidence of osteoarthritis and other autoimmune diseases among athletes.
In this context, long-term supplementation with pure collagen has been shown to be highly beneficial for joint care, supporting the replenishment of collagen degraded during exercise routines.
Properties and benefits of type II collagen with hyaluronic acid from NDL Pro-Health
NDL Pro-Health’s type II collagen with hyaluronic acid is native and undenatured, meaning that the collagen molecule retains its biologically active form and is not modified or denatured during the manufacturing process.
In this way, this collagen for joints retains all its original properties, with the aim of contributing to the maintenance of joint health.
In addition to collagen as a key component of the NDL Pro-Health Articulations formula, the following ingredients should also be highlighted:
Lipinova-11TTG R
It is a unique ingredient obtained from fish oils that supports the body’s natural ability to resolve inflammation.
Curcuma longa
It has a preventive effect against oxidative damage, acting as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
Hesperidin
A flavonoid found in high concentrations in citrus fruits with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Manganese
It helps protect against joint wear, as it is essential for cartilage repair and bone maintenance, contributing to bone density.
Vitamin C 100%
With a mainly antioxidant role, it also supports collagen synthesis, iron absorption (helping to counteract iron deficiency in athletes), helps regulate ROS levels and inflammation, and contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.
Copper
At low concentrations, it supports joint health by acting at both cartilage and bone levels. It promotes chondrocyte regeneration, helps reduce inflammation, and lowers the likelihood of osteoarthritis.
Hyaluronic acid
It actively helps reduce joint discomfort and supports joint health, as it is a component of synovial fluid, the extracellular matrix of cartilage, and tendons.
All these components make NDL Pro-Health Articulations help support the maintenance of bones, tendons, and joints under normal conditions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best supplement for joint wear?
There is no single supplement that is the best option for everyone, as it depends on individual needs. Formulas that combine type II collagen, hyaluronic acid, turmeric, and micronutrients such as vitamin C or manganese can help support joint health as part of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
How long should I take collagen for to notice improvement in my knees?
Results may vary from person to person, but scientific evidence indicates that the benefits of collagen are usually noticed after continuous use for 8 to 12 weeks. Therefore, it is recommended to follow treatments of at least 3 months to consolidate results in joint health.
Is collagen with magnesium or turmeric better for joint pain?
It depends on the goal. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, while turmeric is commonly included in formulas focused on joint wellbeing due to its ingredient profile. NDL Pro-Health’s advanced supplements seek a balanced approach to provide comprehensive support for both structural and joint comfort needs.
Can I take joint supplements if I have chondropathy or osteoarthritis?
Yes, they can be used as part of a joint care routine. Sports such as running, tennis, or crossfit generate continuous mechanical stress on the knees and ankles. Additional collagen and micronutrients can help support cartilage maintenance and connective tissue recovery after exercise, helping to support an active lifestyle.
